Today our journey to helping our teen be College & Career Ready takes a detour into the often-misunderstood world of teen depression. This episode is in honor of October 5th National Depression Screening Day. Our teens overall mental well-being and mental health takes precedence to helping them in their college and career readiness. Having personally experienced depression, I'm opening up this important dialogue to help parents and educators navigate these rough waters. We'll be looking at alarming statistics, exploring the definition and causes of teen depression, and most importantly, identifying the telltale signs that require intervention.
In this timely discussion, we'll be breaking down reliable screening tools and methods, and discussing the significant role of mental health professionals and school-based programs in combating this global crisis. Our aim is to arm you with the knowledge and resources to facilitate early detection, intervention, and create a supportive environment for our teens. Step into this critical conversation and equip yourself to make a difference in your teens life.
